Recruiters-Only Bracket Challenge
The madness is back! It’s time for the 2026 Recruiters Websites Bracket Challenge Tournament, where you’ll test your college hoops expertise for bragging rights and a chance to win great prizes.
Bracket opens Sunday, March 15, at 7 pm ET
Entering is simple: Start by signing up or logging in. Then, fill out a bracket with your picks for each round of the tournament.
It’s completely free to enter. The more winning teams you pick, the better your bracket’s score. The only catch? You must work for a recruiting firm or staffing agency to participate.
At the end of the tournament, the final four entrants will earn cash prizes from our generous sponsors.
- First place: $500 from Crelate
- Second place: $250 from Pin.com
- Third place: $150 from The Digital Recruiter
- Fourth place: $100 from Adams, Evens, & Ross, Inc.
Plus, the tournament champion walks away with a customized trophy from NPAWorldwide. Even a busted bracket is worth a prize—the biggest loser gets a custom hat from CoRecruit.
Worried about your picks? Everyone who plays gets a chance to win one of five VIP passes to The Elite Recruiter Podcast's upcoming summit (April 27-May 4)—a $99 value! You'll be entered into the drawing automatically when you submit your bracket.
Make your picks by 12:15 pm ET on Thursday, March 19
